Chapter 51 Battle In Entertainment City Part 2

Card playing was a magic technique that Conrad had cultivated even deeper, he couldn't use elemental magic techniques. But he continued to train his martial arts and magic techniques to intermediate and higher levels.

The rules of magic techniques are not so simple. From the number of cards containing 54 and it is true, he can copy the opponent's abilities. The cards contain the numbers 1 to 10, clover, spade, heart, diamond, five magic elements and finally the jackpot. If Conrad manages to get the jackpot card, he can copy the opponent's abilities for a minimum of fifteen minutes.

Numbers 1 through 10 are mana aura buffs. Clover image, he can only copy a part of the opponent's power with a limit of ten seconds and with almost the same power intensity. Heart image, he can use the healing technique within ten minutes. Spade Image, he can use constant speed in battle, and diamond Image, making the hitting power and resistance as hard as a diamond. Including the five elements of magic, if Conrad can get them. He was like a real wizard who could use magic element techniques.

The power of the blow that Conrad threw did not produce a boom, but instead produced echoes and vibrations that spread out. Lucas' entire body felt pain, as if there were thousands of needles piercing his body. Lucas fell to the ground, his whole body shaking, even his hands trembled.

'He copied my blows, but changed them with the result of echoes and vibrations. My body is still shaking. Is this a high-level wizard?!'

Lucas was only an unranked novice wizard, but he had always been confident in his strength. The person who saw him was a great wizard with rare powers. This time, Lucas was facing a great wizard in front of his eyes. He couldn't just lose like that, after all that was at stake and even his friends. The man made him angry.

Conrad ran to the side, swinging his leg and launching a kick that hit nothing but empty air.

Lucas had used his vanishing ability without having to cover his eyes with his palms. Just by using intuition and the sharpness of his five senses, and by sensing the presence of someone's mana aura. Conrad was much more cautious, not throwing many punches or kicks. On the other hand, the man changed his fighting strategy.

The blue cards rotated around him, continuing to rotate within a certain time limit, and Conrad had to choose which card he thought was right. He chose one of the cards.

Of course, Lucas had no idea what was in store for him. He still kept his whole disappearing body and stayed still. But that was just the beginning before the danger unfolded before his eyes.

Lucas still used his ability to disappear, but Conrad seemed to be able to feel or see him just by instinct. The punches and kicks were aimed at him. Lucas parried every attack with his hands or elbows, most of the time he avoided quite strong kicks. From another direction, Lucas didn't notice the invisible punch that hit him in the stomach. Lucas fell to the ground. He could no longer maintain his vanishing ability, and his entire body became clear again. With such a pitiful sight.

Peter and the others were just spectators on the small balcony. They saw him struggling to fight Conrad. He himself challenged the adult man, but Lucas cursed his stupidity in his heart. A boy against an adult man, only with a strength that could be said to have a very large gap. Of course, it would be easy for Conrad to defeat him.

"Kid, you are really great. I praise you." Conrad took one of the cards and stomped it on the ground, a stream of water appeared and turned into a flood.

Lucas couldn't protect himself, he was swaying in the flood that continued to hit his body. He had to continue to stay awake by channeling mana aura throughout his body. The flood that was drowning him began to recede. Having drunk too much water, Lucas coughed on the still flooded ground.

'The water element doesn't belong to Conrad right now, he can't use any magic element techniques at all. The magic element cards were just copies of the original magic element techniques, he just added them by channeling mana aura. I don't know, maybe channeling mana aura is a prerequisite for being able to activate magic elements.' Lucas stood up straight in his wet uniform.

"You... you can't use any magic element techniques at all. It's because of your card game. The five magic elements in the card, you only channel mana when you need to use one of the five magic elements."

His hardened face softened with indescribable admiration. Conrad clapped. Like a teacher amazed by the intelligence of his pupils.

"You are not wrong if you dare to challenge me to a fight. Lucas, you must be the most brilliant student in the academy. It's been a long time since I felt such a sensation. You know, weird people in academia always look strange and despise people like us who can't use elemental magic techniques. I was ostracized from academia and the magic world, and ended up becoming a gambler and the biggest entertainment businessman in town. I got all that." Conrad laughed heartily, feeling that pleasant sensation he had only recently experienced.

***

Max gathered his things, he wasn't expected at Stella Cadente anymore. Daniel hadn't expected it after such a crushing defeat against a newcomer. They had been famous fighters in Moon Gap City for more than three years.

The suspense came after the defeat in the last round. Max could only surrender when Daniel froze part of his body, from his waist to his toes, and Elisa, who remained silent, didn't help much. The girl was not angry, but frightened by Daniel's anger that no one could stop. Elisa could only remain silent in the corner of the room, holding her red cheeks, which showed clear marks from the slap.

"You're just trash, no use at all. A crippled wizard who can't use elemental magic and a stupid non-wizard." Daniel roared loudly. "You all get out of here. I don't want to see your stupid faces!"

Daniel slammed his fist into Max's face, causing his body to fall to the ground and the ice covering his body to shatter. Max always felt this kind of humiliation because he couldn't use magic power and develop technological weapons to be on par with wizards. In fact, he wasn't welcome among wizards at all.

Max put his things in a bag, including the weapons equipment he had made. His anger was raging, he wanted to avenge the insult.

"You make such a face. You dare to challenge me?"

It's true, a challenge and revenge. When the guy hit his head, it was like a garbage can that had no use at all. Just kicked away. Max clenched his fists, he would not forget this humiliation.

He and Elisa were in the hall of the building, they didn't know where to go. The girl will probably return to her hometown. Max really hates the wizard, but there are certain things that make him unable to hate Elisa. The girl was just like him, getting cruel insults. Even though the girl was the same as Daniel, they were both wizards. It's just that he has a handicap that is despised by all wizarding circles.

But his thinking turned out to be wrong. Max tried to empathize with Elisa's situation, but in fact the girl had a different view.

"You're just unlucky. Bringing a non-wizard into the team turned out to be wrong and you ruined my relationship with Daniel." Elisa stared sharply and her tears turned into tears of hate.
